TURKES LIKELY TO BE DRIVEN OUT.

S . '"y ’ . ... . / JEWS TO BE AILOWED TO RETURN, . (Australian and N.Z. Gable Association.) Recetred March 31, 10.5 a.m. LONDON, March 30. Newspapers are giving prominence to the rout of 20,000 Turks in Palestine, and describe the new crusade as likely to result in driving the Turks oat of Palestine during the summer. General Murray is building a railway as he advances along the sea coast. A fleet is protecting the army’s flanks. Already the Turkish position on the Beersheba railway is untenable. The newspapers suggest that- Britain is likely to hold this 50-mllea wide- highway into Egypt after the war and allow the Jews to-return to Palestine.
